Wow it's been a busy day on here. And just to add to it, I've not had a great time since I last posted. DS2 accidentally, when joking about, shut DD1's thumb in the front door. He reckons the nail will fall off. Anyway, cue WW3 here as DS1 was swearing at DS2, and was in a lot of pain and bleeding profusely. DS2 then got the hump because his half hearted apology wasn't accepted......so hours later, I was still in tears, the STBXH situation had been raised etc........wonderful!
The good thing to come out of it was that the kids told me how well I was doing, they recognised that I had to take on a lot, especially some of the worst of the decorating that I've never done before, and DS1 virtually used the phrase the parent who stayed. Mostly, though, in contrast to the twunt, there was no stonewalling, no being told I was being ridiculous [except when I did actually say something ridiculous! fair cop] and it got SORTED. Yes, as used to happen a long time ago until the fuckwit dived straight back into the gene pool and found his virtual carpet to bury everything under.
It prompted a lot of looking back afterwards, and thinking about allsorts. My old car will be traded in tomorrow. I originally got that one Easter, and I regarded it as my first grown up car. We took it on holiday to Devon. Various memories. Who would have thought that during that holiday when we were doing "river watch" to ensure the river didn't overflow too much and swamp my new car on the bank, who would have thought that many years later it would have ended up "living" where it did.
I absolutely hate that bitch. Does she think that the means justified the end?One thing I will claim here is the most vile OW. Urgh say no more. MrsC's OW, as it were, well, that level of vile, except is sneaky and a victim player.
On a positive note, I went into the loft to put some stuff up there, and began a good tidy up. Yes, another job left to me. How fortunate that I don't enjoy resting, going out, relaxing, watching TV etc etc. So, good progress on the decorating front, more sorting out done, but not yet in the mood for my Dave strut. I will feel better tomorrow. The kitchen is a bit of a mess. No point putting things back, only to have to move them all again tomorrow.
Bobs good luck for tomorrow. Your point about you may forget obvious things......noted. And I'm glad you said that, because if you had omitted anything, I thought it would be that you just hadn't posted about it.
I'm now going to have a look again at the other posts and do some replies, in between making a bacon roll.
